Short answer

No. He holds ratings through the Phenom 300E single-pilot type rating, his last flight was August 31, 2025, and the jet was sold that October. His reasoning: a pilot who does not keep training is not safe, so he stopped rather than fly occasionally. When the company needs to travel by air, it flies commercially. The Form 1-A lists the ratings; it records no company aircraft and, since the sale, no flight expense. 12

  • Still flying: No (last flight August 31, 2025)

  • Ratings held: Through the Phenom 300E (private, instrument, multi-engine, type)

  • Company travel: Commercial (no company aircraft)

Kevin’s account

Kevin’s account

I learned that if you do not keep up the training pace, piloting is a skill that fades fast. So I no longer fly as a hobbyist. Aviation is not a hobby to me. It is a business tool you use only when you are sharp and capable. Otherwise, subcontract it: use a jet charter company. Pilot training and Wall Street training both skyrocketed my respect for checklists. 2

The record

The Form 1-A lists his ratings as credentials. It records that he provided his own aircraft to the company without reimbursement from January 2023 until it was sold on October 31, 2025, and that no aircraft is available to the company now. 1

Why it comes up

The pilot question sits next to the DUI question in search results. FAA medical certification and checkrides are ongoing tests of judgment and sobriety; the answer to whether he still flies is that he could, and chooses to only when current.

From the September 29, 2026 Q&A

Kevin’s account

Kevin received a first-class medical certificate in approximately November 2024. Kevin took his last flight on August 31, 2025, which was his son’s 10th birthday celebration. 3

In his own videos

  • October 2025: the video explaining why he sold the jet. 4

  • December 2024: the private pilot certificate, earned in 24 days by his account, with the cost and checkride prep. 5

  • July 2025: he holds a first-class medical certificate. 6

  • September 2026: the Phenom 300E is the aircraft he is rated in. 7

In his own videos

  • July 2, 2025: Dangerous Jet Landing, one of his last flights as pilot in command. 8

No. He stopped flying in August 2025 because a pilot who is not current is not safe, and the company flies commercial. 12

Simply put

✅ Does he fly

  • ➡️ No. Last flight August 31, 2025. Jet sold October 31, 2025.

✅ Why he stopped

  • ➡️ Flying is a perishable skill. He would rather not fly than fly rusty.

✅ How the company travels

  • ➡️ Commercial airlines. No company plane, no charter line in the filings.
